History

The first WASUB team was founded in 2004 as result of a submarine thesis design exercise at the TU Delft faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Due to the success of the results, the team of almost 20 students decided to compete in the Inter-national Submarine Races 2005. After a year of full dedication the WASUB I team won the one person propeller category and the slalom on the 8th International Submarine Races.

GBS Gearbox Services Submarine Races 2015 After the success of WASUB I, the subsequent WASUB team was formed in the study year 2005-2006. Since the ISR is a bi-annual event, another competition was found: the Human Powered Submarine Races which were being held in San Diego. WASUB II won the prizes for best design and best production. Due to various reasons the continuity of the WASUB team was not maintained until the study year 2012-2013. Seven years after the WASUB II was built, the WASUB III was created and became second in the one person highest speed class with 12.4 km/h on the International Submarine Races. Last year the WASUB IV team competed in the European International Submarine Races (EISR). They won the prize for the best Design Report and they won the Repair Award.

Goals and vision

This year’s main goal is to break the world speed record (13.49 km/h) in the one person propeller class and obtain a leading position within the field of competitors. GBS Gearbox Services Submarine Races 2015Whilst working towards this goal the WASUB’s interdisciplinary team proves to be an excellent educational environment for students to develop themselves and gain experience in new fields of work. By working in the WASUB V team they will design, engineer and build components of the submarine. Lastly, the strong interfaces between corporations and students creates an unique platform in which both parties bene- fit greatly, while working on joint interests.
